I looked at one slide set for the Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV) vaccine. I didn’t watch the meeting. The ACIP Adult RSV Work Group Clinical Considerations powerpoint presentation recommend transitioning away from the shared clinical decision-making (SCDM) component for getting the RSV vaccine.
Slide 4 seems clear:
“All adults aged 75 years and older should get a single dose of RSV vaccination.
All adults aged 60-74 years and with certain chronic medical conditions or other factors that increase the risk of severe RSV disease should receive a single dose of RSV vaccination.
These recommendations would replace the SCDM recommendation, meaning that adults aged 60-74 years without risk factors for severe RSV vaccine, are no longer recommended to receive RSV vaccination.”
Stat News has a report which includes comments on the unanimous vote in favor of the above.
